I really need to quite clicking on this thread.
I am now tempted to try it this year.
Do you think it would do okay here in Central Texas?

It has done well in East Texas. I don't think it would have any particular problems with the heat.

Thanks Fred it is now on my list after what Cole said about it in an other thread.
Try as I might I wanted to keep the varieties down to a minimum.
It isn't working.

It never works. I am really wrestling with my field plans for next year. I grow about 2000 plants at my farm, and I always feel like I am not able to plant everything I want.

Fred, Is Johnny's seeds going to carrying your larger toms like the Jazz and the Fire lines? I know AP Whaley will be selling them but Johnny's has a few other things I am considering.

I am stoked about these and the other seeds I got Fred. I will be growing each variety and not much else since my space is limited. I am going to give some to my sister in NC too so I can see if they perform any better/worse in her climate. Although I am not a member of the group I will still report back with pics and my observations on performance in my climate.

Johnny's won't be able to carry them this winter. It looks like we are going to be the only source for packets of our new varieties this winter (Aaron Whaley will be filling bulk orders), but that others will pick some of them up for next winter, including Johnny's.

Ok Fred, I will hope Johnny's will carry them next year then. I am only looking for packets and need it shipped to Canada. Thanks for the heads up. I did order blush, Maglia Rosa, tigers and bumblebees so i have a good start on trying your varieties out.

Unfortunately, Fred doesn't ship outside the US. See post #132 on this thread, I tried earlier to order.

Mark,

I am shipping to Canada now, with a $1.50 charge per order (no limit on items). I tried to set the website to do this. If you want to do a test run, I can throw in a couple extra things for your trouble.

To whom it may concern --

I have decided to send seeds to Canada, but not through the website, which will remain US only.

If you are in Canada, and you want seeds listed at the website (www.growartisan.com) please send me a PM with a list of what you want (2 packet minimum, but no shipping charges) AND an email address. I will send a Paypal request for funds to the email address you provide, and I will send the seeds after payment.

This is a little cumbersome, but after some re-consideration, I decided it is best to keep the website US-only for now.
